Fully integrated flight deck. State-of-the-art Pro Line 21™.

The King Air family has always delivered one of the best overall safety records in general aviation. That is due, in large part, to the flight deck. Since the first King Air was introduced, its flight deck design has been continually refined until reaching its current incarnation — the best in the business.

Front and center is a Rockwell Collins Pro Line 21™ integrated avionics suite. Combining the latest technology sensors, processing and displays, this system delivers unparalleled capabilities, sophistication and simplicity. Along with its three 8- by 10-inch active-matrix displays, the advanced package includes a complete Pro Line 21 digital communications/navigation/surveillance (CNS) system. If it looks like a jet’s flight deck, it should; it has the same avionics suite found in many light and midsize jets.

And the King Air 350i’s “jet connection” does not end there. In the extremely unlikely event of an engine failure, the autofeather and rudder boost features immediately eliminate the drag of the windmilling propeller, so single-engine handling is virtually identical to a light jet. The pilot simply concentrates on flying the aircraft. And that simple act has put the single-pilot certified King Air family at the top of every pilot’s wish list.

11 12 More passengers. More miles. Less fuel. The segment’s greenest business aircraft.

It’s simple math. The King Air 350i combines unmatched fuel efficiency with the ability to take more people to more destinations. Enjoy jetlike comfort and conveniences with the added benefits of lower operating costs.

Load the seats and fly on a 300 nautical-mile trip.T he King Air 350i’s cost per seat-mile is actually less than the leading turboprop single. Fly a typical 600 nautical-mile business trip and the King Air’s efficiencies are even more dramatic. The long and short of it is that no other business aircraft — turboprop or turbofan — delivers more capability, reliability, safety and value than a King Air 350i.

13 14 Proof that more can be done for less.

With its capability to carry as many as nine passengers and their luggage, no other twin turboprop has the ability to take more people more places than the King Air 350i. With eight passengers, the King Air 350i bests 1,800 its closest twin-turboprop competitor, the Piaggio Avanti II, by a full 1,604 1,600 430 nautical miles. 1,400 Even more impressive is the amazing efficiency that a workhorse such as the King Air 350i delivers.

And jets will arrive mere minutes before the King Air. 800 745

The unparalleled range and efficiency are due, in large part, to the 600

Designed specifically for the King Air 350i, these propellers provide maximum thrust while turning at lower tip speeds. The Business aviation’s load-carrying leader result is a more-serene, more-comfortable cabin. The King Air 350i gives the category’s greatest combination of capability and flexibility. Load all eight cabin seats with adult passengers, fill the When it comes to taking more people shorter distances or fewer people tanks and fly nearly 1,500 nautical miles. Fill the very long distances, no other aircraft in its class delivers more people to fuel tanks on a CJ2+ and you can almost carry more places at a lower cost than the King Air 350i. four adults.

external baggage space The King Air 350i features nacelle lockers that provide an additional 16 cubic feet of baggage carrying space, so there’s plenty of room to bring the things needed to make the most of business and pleasure trips.

15 16 Short runways and large payloads.

To define the King Air 350i with one word is easy: versatile. No other aircraft in its class can do what it can do. Certified in the Part 23 commuter category, the King Air 350i is built to take whatever is dished out. With its long, rugged landing gear and strong airframe, it is just as much at home on a gravel strip as it is at any major airport in the world. The King Air 350i knows no bounds.

solid performer That rugged airframe and legendary Pratt & Whitney Canada engine reliability also give the King Air 350i an extremely high dispatch rate. It just keeps going and going, so more can be accomplished. The King Air 350i supplies the capability to load the seats and the fuel tanks and safely get up and go from a majority of airports, even under the most extreme conditions.

Short-Runway Takeoffs You can take off from a Denver, Colo., 8,000-foot runway on a 90-degree day with full fuel and 1,789 pounds of passengers and baggage payload and still fly more than 1,500 nautical miles. Try that in another turboprop or light jet. On a standard day, the King Air 350i needs only 3,300 feet of runway for takeoff with full fuel. Off-load some fuel or passengers, and it safely operates off of runways shorter than 3,000 feet.

That kind of performance opens doors to thousands of airports around the world, which the competition can’t touch. It’s just one more reason why no other aircraft in its class comes close to delivering the versatility found with the King Air 350i.

17 18 Go the distance: Climb 2,730 feet per minute at max weight.

With a total of 2,100 shaft horsepower combined with the airframe-specific, four-blade Hartzell propellers and a host of aerodynamic refinements — including winglets — the King Air 350i delivers truly inspiring performance.

Its powerful performance enables safe operation out of shorter runways; it also delivers impressive climb capabilities. The twin-engine climb rate is 2,730 feet per minute at maximum weight. Lighter weights net an amazing 3,250 feet per minute, allowing the King Air 350i to reach its 35,000-foot cruising altitude more quickly. With a faster climb rate, the aircraft gets up high where tailwinds are stronger and fuel flows are lower.

In the extremely unlikely situation that an engine must be shut down, the King Air 350i’s single-engine ceiling at maximum weight is 21,500 feet, allowing it to easily clear any obstacles en route to an alternate airport. No wonder the King Air is considered among the safest aircraft in the sky.
